Best Answer

Some Muslim women cover their face because that is how the wives of Prophet Muhammad dressed.

Some Muslims say this is practice is "fard", or required. The majority Muslims say it is "Sunnah", or recommended. A very small minority say it is haraam, or forbidden.

In what year and month did the Taliban force Hindu women to veil their faces as other afghan women do?

The Hindu women are not living in Afghanistan, neither are they required to veil their faces. The Taliban forced the Muslim women to wear Burqas, covering their faces. This happened in the early 1990s, 1991 or 1992. The Taliban who control parts of Pakistan are operating in parts without a Hindu minority, so it is not applicable there either.
